(B) 4 and 5

4 and 5 are consecutive numbers and when you add both of them (sum) you get 9.

Once you get 9, it says 1/3 of the sum of the two consecutive numbers.

So we would do 9 divided by 3 which then we would get 3.

It also says the number is one less than the smaller number (which is 4 in this case as 4 is smaller than 5).

3 is one number smaller than 4 and is therefore the answer.

Find the range from 4 to -2 A. 2 B. 4 C. 6 D.-2

Scilla [17]

<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ The range is the highest value minus the smallest value

Therefore, you just need to subtract the two values to find the values:

-2 - 4 = -6

The difference is just 6, so your answer is C. 6

Find a vector equation and parametric equations for the line. (Use the parameter t.) The line through the point (1, 0, 9) and pe

pogonyaev

Answer:

vector equation and parametric equations for the line are;

r(t) = < 1, 0, 9 > + t< 1, 3, 1 >

x(t),y(t),z(t) = < 1 + t, 3t, 9 + t >

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Plane = x + 3y + z = 5

Normal of pane ⇒ <a> = < 1, 3, 1 >

As line is perpendicular to pane, Line is parallel to normal of plane.

⇒ Direction ratio of line < 1, 3, 1 >

Also line passes through < 1, 0, 9 >

r(t) = < 1, 0, 9 > + t< 1, 3, 1 >

Also,

(x-1)/1 = (y-0)/3 = (z-9)/1 = t

⇒ (x-1)/1 =t, (y-0)/3 = t, (z-9)/1 = t

⇒ x = 1 + t, y = 3t, z = 9 + t

⇒ x(t),y(t),z(t) = < 1 + t, 3t, 9 + t >

Therefore, vector equation and parametric equations for the line are;

r(t) = < 1, 0, 9 > + t< 1, 3, 1 >

x(t),y(t),z(t) = < 1 + t, 3t, 9 + t >

In a newspaper, it was reported that yearly robberies in Springfield were up 26% to 252 in 2011 from 2010. How many robberies we

koban [17]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

i did a little bit of guessing and checking but the answer is 200 because if you multiply 200 by 1 it comes out to 200 and if you multiply it by .26 it comes out to 52. you multiply by .26 because it was 26% and you need to move the decimal over 2 when changing to decimal form. to find it immediately, you multiply 200 by 1.26 and it comes out to be 252 (sorry about the sloppy handwriting)
